Over the past few months I have looked over several "freedom" or "sovereignty" groups, one in particular which is typical of most. The same elements are there in all of them, a charismatic leader, a corrupt government in Washington, hundreds or thousands of people who have lost hope, religious fervor (this goes hand in hand with the lost hope), egos large and small, the same bitching and moaning, and for the most part, a lack of any real solutions.
The largest group of course, are the truly dedicated followers blinded to reality by promises of instant relief from bondage just around the corner, the same tired old carrot and stick routine, used successfully for centuries, by leaders who espouse either intended or empty promises which ever the case may be.
These groups have been around since there have been "kings" on the earth, but here in America they have been particularly active since the sixties. The anti war movement, the Hippie movement, flower power, the SDS, Black Panthers etc. I could fill the page with hundreds of names, but until recent years,with the exception of a few headlines now and then, the "right wing Christian extremists" (not my term but one the "de facto" (current) government and their minions like to use) had not been in the forefront.
Today as the economy gets worse and more and more people loose their jobs and their homes they are turning to these "patriot" groups in ever increasing numbers. At this point keep in mind the axiom, "one mans "patriot" is another mans "potential terrorists". Your particular view largely depends on weather you still have your job and home or, work for the current government or have been one of those who view the "American dream" as stolen by the "Banksters", Wall Street", "Politicians", "Elitists", the Pope, Illuminati, Corporatist or what ever other boogeyman you choose. The truth is probably all may be involved, however the real culprit is us, you and me and the reason is that ever so close "American dream". About now your thinking this guy is nuts, how could that be ? Well fasten your seat belts Buds and Budetts I'm going to tell you exactly how.
